Proceeding contribution from Alun Cairns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on The Budget.


The Budget

It is fair to say that the enterprise zones of the past were not always as successful as they could have been, but as someone who has a strong link with Swansea, I know that the Swansea enterprise park has been a fantastic success that has transformed Swansea. If the hon. Gentleman tells the thousands of people who are employed on that site that enterprise zones are not worth while, they will tell him something very different. If he does not want an enterprise zone in Pontypridd, that suits me just fine, because it will strengthen the case for one in Barry and I hope I can welcome his support for that.
